AutoGyro GmbH
AutoGyro GmbH (English: AutoGyro Limited) is a German aircraft manufacturer based in Hildesheim. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of autogyros in the form of fully assembled, ready to fly aircraft.[1]
The company has had commercial success with their designs, which include a mast-mounted vibration dampening system. The enclosed cabin AutoGyro Cavalon and AutoGyro Calidus are noted for their very aerodynamically clean fuselage fairings. The open cockpit AutoGyro MT-03 is described as a "market leader" and is sold in the UK as the modified RotorSport UK MT-03. The AutoGyro MTOsport is a development version of the MT-03. British importer RotorSport UK also markets a modified version of the Calidus as the RotorSport UK Calidus.[1] As of 2014, they build around 300 aircraft per year.[2]
An MT-03 was flown on a world record-setting distance flight in Australia of 1,263 km (785 mi).[1]
